International Cardiac Physiologist Day, observed each year on May 21, honors cardiac physiologists and their work in heart health. The date marks the birthday of Dutch Nobel laureate Willem Einthoven (born May 21, 1860), inventor of the first practical electrocardiogram (ECG). The day recognizes the vital role these specialists play in diagnosing, monitoring, and improving cardiac care.
